This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.
What made you unable to look in a different direction?

Really? Count the things you're not allowed to show in public. It's almost like you can't go through life with your eyes literally closed so the world doesn't bother you.
You have to know that, though, so you must be trolling.

Technical education opens doors, or your child.
Please don’t open my child.
(psssst ackshually it says "for")
Why you gotta ruin it for us?
Alternate question: How powerful of a laser do you need to burn out the LEDs on those sort of displays?

Looks like it's supposed to say that, but currently doesn't. Lol

I’m surprised that’s legal. You’d think it would distract other drivers
freedom of expression does also matter, how much more distracting is this compared to if it was made with retroreflectors? Could these lights be confused for hazards? Is this any different than having a glowing "taxi" sign on a taxi?
Eat a dirty dick
In my area once in awhile I'll see this box truck where it's covered in LED screens with animated ads on it that drives around. Annoying at best, a road hazard at worst.
Same here, and great that it’s wasting gas and polluting at the same time! I hate it with a burning passion.
They drive these up and down the Las Vegas strip, which generally is snarled with traffic. So adding to traffic too.
I think such things are banned in Australia. Clearly not safe for traffic.

They do need to be that bright at daytime, and most indeed use automatic brightness by default. If only there was a technology that could use daylight instead of fighting it...
cons: significantly more expensive, don't work in total darkness, don't catch attention

I mean, I don't think an advert needs to be illuminated at all, frankly
They also don't need to be visible, or exist at all for that matter. I despise ads.
Try going even one day without seeing a fucking ad..
First off, the only real way to accomplish that, aside from being in a coma, is to spend the day out in the woods somewhere.
Then, when you get tangled up in a thorny vine and pull out your knife, BAM, advertising logo!
Then when you want to start a fire, you bust out your lighter, and BAM, advertising logo!
Don't look at your shirt, shoes, socks, pants, hat, water bottle, or even you camera either. If you packed your lunch, you likely see a brand there too in the wrapper.
I have a sensory thing about tags, only purchase undecorated, monochrome clothing, and have worn the paint off of my water bottle. Plus, I make my own lunch and pack it in metal Tupperware whose branding is also worn away. It’s wild to me that there’s an application for being a fucking weirdo, but I don’t have any visible ads on my person.
Look at this fat cat that can afford clothes!
Sad LOL though, but yep, it's practically impossible to avoid logos and ads anymore ☹️

Ffs of all the colors they could have used too.
I saw one of those big rig trucks where the trailer was completely covered in LED advertising displays, on the left, right and back.
One of the ads was regarding broken phones, saying something along the lines of 'broken glass is a good thing'. Don't quote me on the exact wording though, I only saw that ad once, but it was regarding trade-ins and upgrades.
Kinda ironic to have such an ad displayed on a truck where you're tempted to bust their display with a sledgehammer...
